Morrisville/West Cary Core Update

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

As you know, Hope Community and Northwest Community have decided not to merge together to launch Hope-Northwest at Panther Creek. Obviously, we are all disappointed that this didn’t work out including Mike, Dave, and the elders. They understand that we probably feel as if we’ve been on a rollercoaster ride. It would be nice at times if the process of seeking to know and do God’s will was always controllable, but the reality is that it is not because fortunately He is God and we are not.

 

Please know that we wish our friends at Northwest Community all the best. We love them and are blessed to serve beside them in God’s kingdom. You should also know that Gary Vet is staying on Hope’s staff as our Pastor of Spiritual Formation. Gary, Martha and their boys are great assets to Hope! So what’s next?

 

Pastor Mike asked me to reassure you that while the launch plans are off for now there is still hope that our campus is coming. Please hang in here.  We will be the next campus to launch! Right now Hope is confronting two realities that affect our launch date. One is the need to assure the continued success of Hope-Holly Springs and the other is the need to collect the funds needed to launch our second campus.

 

Since there is no launch date currently, everyone is encouraged to re-engage at the Raleigh campus. Hope-Holly Springs is off to a great start, but has left several holes at the Raleigh campus. If you’re not already involved, be encouraged to quickly join one of the volunteer teams. We’ve learned a lot from launching Hope-Holly Springs. One thing is to hire staff or place volunteer leaders from within using our seasoned volunteers. Which means that if you have any desire to be on staff or lead one of our volunteer teams the best thing you can do is get involved as a volunteer leader now.

 

OK, so here is your opportunity to talk to me. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions? Is there any way I can serve you and your family? Feel free to email, call, or setup an appointment with me. I’d love to hear from you.

 

I appreciate you and your commitment to Christ, His Kingdom, and Hope Community Church.

The Book of Colossians - Dave Patchin, Executive Pastor

The study of this New Testament book will help you know and understand the Gospel well so you won’t be led astray by subtle forms of legalism and heresy.

Setup/Tear-down Rehearsal

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

This Saturday and Sunday 7am - 11am we’ll be at Holly Springs High School learning the ins and outs of transforming the high school into Hope Community Church - Holly Springs campus. 

 

I’d love for you to join us either or both days if you’re available (I’ll be there both days). We will be getting a nearly identical set-up for Hope Northwest and it’ll be a great chance to get some pre-training on what is going to happen! It’ll also be a great chance to rub shoulders with some folks from Northwest and get to know the people who are part of our growing church body.

 

 

Come observe and help. It promises to be lots of fun!
